Restricted Stock Award Clause Samples

A Restricted Stock Award clause outlines the terms under which an employee or service provider receives company shares that are subject to certain restrictions, such as vesting schedules or forfeiture conditions. Typically, the shares cannot be sold or transferred until specific requirements—like continued employment or performance milestones—are met. This clause incentivizes recipients to remain with the company and aligns their interests with the company's long-term success, while also protecting the company from granting full ownership rights prematurely.

Restricted Stock Award. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Executive will be granted a restricted stock award pursuant to which Executive will be permitted to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the date of this Agreement) at a purchase price to be determined by the Board (the “Award”). The Award will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement. The shares of stock subject to the Award will “vest” during the term of Executive’s employment as follows: all of the shares of stock subject to the Award shall initially be unvested; on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Vesting Semi-Anniversary Date”), twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the total number of shares of stock subject to the Award shall vest; thereafter, six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the total number of shares of stock subject to the Award shall vest on the last day of each three-month period following the Vesting Semi-Anniversary Date, on the same day of the month as the Vesting Semi Anniversary Date (and if there is no corresponding day, the last day of such month), so that all shares of stock subject to the Award are fully-vested with respect to all of the stock subject to the Award four (4) years from the Effective Date (provided in each case that Executive remains an employee of the Company (or a parent or subsidiary of the Company) as of the date of such vesting installment). Notwithstanding the foregoing and because it is anticipated that the Award will cover a number of shares of stock that will exceed 1.0% of the Company’s fully-diluted capitalization on the date of purchase, the vesting of the shares of stock subject to the Award will be subject to a cap that will provide that the aggregate number of shares of stock that may vest pursuant to the terms of the Award may not exceed 1.5% of the Company’s fully-diluted capitalization prior to the consummation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock financing (the “1.5% Cap”). All shares of stock that do not vest in accordance with the foregoing vesting provisions will be subject to repurchase by the Company at a repurchase price equal to the lesser of cost and fair market value (as determined by the Board its sole discre...
